No problem man, those amazon links do have a shitload of queries in them even for a standard link.

One thing I was thinking as I finished reading this book was I wondered if any of these particular spammers frequent any of the adult boards. The book focused on maybe half a dozen big names in the spam game, although the only one I was familiar with was good old Spamford Wallace. But he wasn't even a big focus in the book since the book kind of starts right at his retirement from spamming.

The stories of these guys are pretty nuts, and what really struck me odd is that these guys actually stock and fulfill all the orders themselves. Like the guys pushing penis pills actually warehoused thousands upon thousands of bottles of pills and had packing and shipping operations going. I would have thought they were simply promoting for the manufacturers, rather than promoting AND fulfilling the orders. But I guess there was more profit for them in buying the product wholesale, and handling the physical product delivery to the customers.

I think you can grab the 1st chaper in PDF format from Amazon. I definitely suggest checking it out if you're even slightly curious. I gobbled up the 300 or so pages of the book in a few hours I found it so interesting.
